Ants in the muffins meant they had to ask the sheriff to deliver all the donuts he could find!
Bob and Nancy Faith recall memories from their experience hosting the first-ever Green County Breakfast on the Farm 45 years ago. They started a few traditions as trailblazers, which are unique to the Green County breakfast: coffee cake instead of pancakes, and strawberries served on the ice cream.
“We were charting new waters,” Nancy said of planning the first Breakfast on the Farm. “We planned on a thousand people… it was well over 2,000. So naturally, we ran out of eggs, we ran out of milk, we ran out of everything, so we called the suppliers and they brought it all out.”
The night before breakfast, ants invaded the dozens and dozens of freshly-baked muffins. Nancy was able to get a hold of the Belleville bakery, and the sheriff was the one who flipped on his lights and made the delivery in time.
“It was a true donut run!” Nancy says.
